      I don't think you'll be able to use a 4wd spindle without some fabrication. The lower ball joint points toward the ground, on the 4wd, compared to a G-body/S-series (2wd) spindle where the lower ball joint points up. In other words, the taper will be in the wrong direction.

      Thanks for pointing that out, I should have noted that I'd have to bore and ream the LBJ hole straight and larger, to accept a shouldered chromoly insert with the correct taper and direction for the GBody LBJ.

      Well see though, it'd definitely be more work than using the newer 2wd Blazer Spindles....
